Daniil Kvyat returned to Russia over the weekend to demonstrate a Red Bull RB7 in the city of Kazan. Heavy rain did little to deter 20,000 local fans from seeing Kvyat at the wheel, with his popularity on the rise and Russian Grand Prix organisers saying his podium in Hungary has led to a huge increase in ticket sales for this year's race at Sochi.
